If you haven't been following poker for the last 2 years, here's what you missed...
- guy cheats people out of 6 figures on live streams while staring at crotch
- WSOP completely in the gutter, but everyone still plays
- Negreanu paid Polk 1.2m to stop making fun of him

Advice for Poker Players who score big:
- Don't start backing

- If you learn mixed games, online is cheaper
- Start an IRA
- Pay your taxes

- Don't forget who your friends are

If you're still in Vegas and experienced the false alarm active shooter report, take notice of all the people who were casually sitting at the table while the rest of you were scattering for cover - do not try to bluff them.

WSOP is that toxic ex who treated you terribly, but then sends a text (announces dates) and you just can't stop thinking about them.
You agree to meet and "catch up", but before you know it, you've bubbled the Main and are stuck $50k w/ 8 BBs left in the Little one for One Drop.

Let me tell you how the latest poker controversy ends...
- Investigation finds no evidence of cheating
- Garrett begrudgingly gives the money back
- Ingram disappears until WSOP '23

The WORST types of poker players:
- private game runners
- break even tourney regs turned into crypto hot shot
- that random person at a party's cousin who I've never heard of, that is "also a professional poker player"

GOOD POKER TABLE HABITS:
- taking your trash with you after busting
- throwing chips and cards in closer for the dealer
- making change for someone BEFORE their blinds
- NOT initiating a handshake after busting someone
- NOT talking strategy
- folding JJ and AQo pre
What else?

In my early 20s, I put my whole net worth on a Commerce $20/40 NL table, doubled with quad eights and direct bought in to LAPC main w/ ~70% of my new bankroll.
In my mid 30s I drink oat milk, pay a mortgage, eat vegetables and have two IRA accounts.
Just thrilled for the 40s!

It's laughable when people think poker players owe the industry something like smiling for winner's photos to "promote poker". You owe the rake from your buy ins - that's it.
As long as you aren't cheating or disrespecting people, act however you'd like - you're the customer.

100+ yrs ago successful poker players were good at stud games, gunfighting, drinking and socializing.
Today successful players are good at nl hold em, using solvers, VPNing, and deliberately looking at their phone while walking to the table to avoid potential conversation.

If you think Trump is winning this debate, you're brainwashed.
He's not saying any facts.
He's not answering any questions.
He's just recycling absurd talking points to stir up fear.

These "I'm boycotting the Olympics" because of the opening ceremony takes are embarrassingly stupid.

Quickly dismissed it as some kind of scam.

Hey EPIC POKER PLAYERS - How sure are you that you were getting to play in a freeroll tournament?!
Am I doing it right?
Instead of asking, “Are you sure? Try asking, “How sure are you?”
“Are you sure” is a yes or no question. It demands unreasonable certainty.
“How sure are you?” allows for shades of gray. It says uncertainty is okay.
How often in a day do you casually ask, “You sure?”

WSOP doesn't discriminate - every year we're herded through the halls to get raked as much as possible.
They have two concerns: profit and safety. Extra testing/paperwork is a logistical nightmare.
It's business, I don't know why people are taking this decision personal.

How to conduct yourself in a cash game:
- play fast
- give good action
- have a good attitude
- don't berate people or complain
- when new players ask you to "make a ruling" for a pot your in, don't scum one of them out of $5k and say "it's a good deal"

What if TIME bank chips were bought and each one used adds funds to the prize pool? Unused chips are redeemed for cash.
How much should each chip cost? ~2.5% of buy in?
Pro: Rewards desirable pace of play.
Con: More complicated to run event.
